Book Review Policy
The Writing Greyhound operates an honest, unbiased book review policy at all times. I always give my truthful opinion about a book and will write a review for every book I am sent for review purposes, from five-star favourites to one-star disappointments. If you are an author or publisher only looking for positive reviews, we won't make a good fit for one another. Many other book bloggers only share positive reviews of books they have enjoyed reading - The Writing Greyhound is not one of these blogs. However, if you are interested in receiving an honest review of your book, good or bad, please read on.
I am happy to review most genres except the following:
- Horror
- Humour
- Satire
- Picture books
- Novellas
- Religious
- Steampunk
- Essays
- Science fiction
- Erotica
- Memoir/biography (except, occasionally, historical)
On the other hand, these are my favourite genres to read and review. If your book falls into one or more of these categories, I am far more likely to accept your request:
- Young adult (YA)
- New adult (NA)
- Urban fantasy
- Historical
I read and review every book based on its own merits before assigning it a star rating. Here's a quick rundown of what each of my star ratings means:
- One star - I strongly disliked the book
- Two stars - I didn't enjoy the book
- Three stars - I enjoyed the book but it didn't stand out
- Four stars - I really enjoyed the book
- Five stars - I loved the book!
Hopefully, this guide will prove helpful to both readers and authors stopping by the blog!
Still Interested?
I also support indie authors and am more than happy to review good-quality self-published books as well as traditionally published novels. Please note that I am highly unlikely to read or review a book from a series unless I have previously read and enjoyed the rest of the series to date.
If you think that your book is a good fit for me, please get in touch with more information.
Please note - I receive many review requests every day and cannot physically review every book offered to me. If you clearly haven't read my review guidelines or you send me a generic or unnamed request, please don't expect a reply to your message.
